Psalms
Chapter 81
- 1
A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.
- 2
How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?
- 3
Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.
- 4
Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.
- 5
They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.
- 6
I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.
- 7
But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.
- 8
Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
